Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant sustained a left calf strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced Saturday.

Durant apparently was injured during Friday’s 114-113 victory over the host Dallas Mavericks. Durant had 26 points in 37 minutes.

The 14-time All-Star forward also dealt with a left calf strain in the summer prior to the Paris Olympics.

Durant, 36, has helped the Suns break out with a surprising 8-1 start to the season. He is averaging 27.6 points and 6.6 rebounds.

Earlier this season, Durant became the eighth player in NBA history to top 29,000 career points.

The Suns host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
